He set off on his walk on Friday, March 8, and spent Saturday night in Grantham before heading for Stamford on Sunday.

He said in a video filmed by a friend and fellow veteran Dean Cumberpatch: "So, here we are after 12 days outside City Hall and they're still yet to accept my complaint.

"I had a final letter on Thursday to say the bedsit was adequate and I should accept it or stay homeless.

"So I'm walking to Number 10 Downing Street from Lincoln. I will be doing it bit by bit and hopefully trying to raise awareness of broken Britain.

"Everything is overflowing, they're not funding it, they're not training it. There's not enough staff in it so it's about time we all united.

"One man started this walk and hopefully anyone can join me if they feel [like it]."

Mr Cumberpatch, an ex-Grenadier Guardsman from Collingham, who runs outreach group Odin's Oath, told Lincolnshire Live: "We advised him not to do this walk - I don't think he's in a fit state but he's very stubborn.

"We took him for breakfast in Newark on Saturday. He had a really bad night in Grantham on Saturday because there was a lot of rain and his tent and sleeping bag got wet through but he's kept going."
